Career ending decision (performing, not the proposed apology β€” although perhaps a public act of self-condemnation and/or donating all of his fee to organisations that get up the Saudi nose could nudge him back from the cliff edge of irrelevance). Dumb. #billburr

Mackay, ever the lightweight, ever misreading the room, whose sole accomplishment was destroying the federal PC party. A very unserious person.

There’s rumour that in some obscure dialect of an older form of French β€œPierre Poilievre” means β€œfifth column”.

The devious psychological manipulation of the marketplace. Always poking my snoozing automaton to make it think about things it doesn’t want to and has no energy for.

Good article, Adam. Thanks for posting. Just like for CosmicRaimi this track has left earworm burrows in my brain since it came out but it and the video have also always caused a disquieted cocked eyebrow.

Probably just Americans pretending to be Canadian. Even when they’re travelling at home, it’s likely safer for them these days.

Ambassador Hoekstra should turn tough questions on Canada-U.S. relations into a diplomacy opportunity The U.S. ambassador to Canada should look to his predecessors on guidance on how to engage: visit different regions of this country and have discussions with its people.

Question. How do you get back home after you burn all your bridges? I assume some sort of catapult is involved. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...
